Call ahead
Office hours change around open enrollment, and many agencies book appointments during the busiest weeks. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip.
What to bring
Photo ID, Social Security numbers for everyone applying, a recent pay stub or income estimate, and a list of your doctors and prescriptions.
Before you call an agent
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
Checking an agent's license in Pennsylvania
- The Pennsylvania Insurance Department links consumers to a search for licensed insurance companies, producers and agents, run through the Sircon platform. It lets you confirm that an agent or broker holds a Pennsylvania license. Source

What if an office I visited won't renew my plan?
Any licensed agent certified with the marketplace can help you switch plans or renew at open enrollment.
Can I do everything by phone instead?
Yes. Licensed agents can quote, enroll and send documents electronically, which is how most people enroll today.
